本論文結合了嵌入式主機及UHF RFID系統建置一個智慧型RFID冰箱。首先進行RFID的系統選型,我們選擇HF和UHF二種RFID放入冰箱內來測試,再來就是使用Dipole天線和陣列天線的驗測,經過多方面的測試後,決定運用UHF RFID Reader與陣列天線進行RFID冰箱研製。選型完後進行RFID冰箱系統的開發設計,本系統運用網頁與RFID中介軟體結合,提供了遠端查詢的功能,管理者可以透過電腦或手機的網路,遠端查詢保存期限、食譜、卡路里、產品履歷及公司訊息,亦可透過冰箱旁的觸控式人機介面,查詢相關資訊,可以不用打開冰箱即能知道冰箱內食品資訊,建立一個節能和健康管理的環境。另外還有設計符合冰箱所適用的陣列天線,以提高對Tag的讀取率,使本作品更具人性化,以達到優質生活的便利性與舒適性。
The purpose of this thesis is to build a smart RFID refrigerator integrated by embedded system and UHF RFID system. We tried to find out what kind of the advantages between HF RFID and UHF RFID in this refrigerator system. Also we compared dipole antenna with array antenna which one is suited to this refrigerator system. According to above researching and testing, we decided to build the UHF RFID with array antenna in the smart refrigerator system. Then we proceeded to develop the software system design. This software system consists of internet and RFID API(application programming interface) that provide a remote checking function for foods in the refrigerator. The manager can use computer or mobile phone via internet to track the food information like the amount, expiry date, nutrition facts, calories, and recipes with the ingredients for dishes without opening the refrigerator door. Furthermore, we designed the array antenna to promote the reading rate for this system to check the food information in the refrigerator to build an energy saving environment to provide a convenient and comfortable life.
